Mr. Speaker, the defence minister's refusal to answer straightforward questions is looking more and more like a cover-up.
Our brave women and men in uniform are losing confidence in the minister. Sexual misconduct in the Canadian Armed Forces should never be covered up, and the defence minister had a duty to investigate. His failure to investigate these allegations calls into question his ability to continue serving as the Minister of National Defence.
Will the defence minister end the cover-up and finally tell Canadians the truth of when he first learned of these disturbing allegations?
